And then it Happened
Bill Clary [02:56]
And Then It Happened, a show-reel by Bill Clary + Got Aerial featuring incredible footage from our world above.
With over 14 years experience in the field Mr Clary has worked on a variety of projects along with clients FX, HighNoon
Entertainment, Sony, Regency, MTV and John Deer to just name a few.
"In 1997 while enlisted in the US Army 82nd Airborne 3/325 Parachute Infantry Regiment, I built my first done out of a
wireless baby monitor and a beefed up 40size RC gas airplane. From there I knew the sky was no longer the limit."

Norway's Lofoten Islands
Ian Montgomery, United States [03:30]
The Lofoten Islands are draped across the turbulent waters of the Norwegian Sea, far above
the Arctic Circle. This rare wilderness outpost offers an untrammelled landscape of majestic
mountains, deep fjords, squawking seabird colonies and long, surf-swept beaches. If you are
seeking unforgettable nature experiences, Lofoten will definitely not let you down. The rapidly
changing weather and magnificent light conditions have inspired artists and drawn them to this
area for several decades.

DRIFT
Frank Dewaele, Belgium [03:45]
"DRIFT" is a short that tells the story of a young boy
named Oscar and his imaginary friend Nika who wants to
persuade him to join her to another world. A choice that
literally turns his world upside down.
The intention of this short was to create a visually
fascinating film where drone-shots play a part and add
value in the story but at the same time are not the main
character.
That got us thinking on what we could do with a drone
that has not yet been done before.. That's when we came
up with aerial retro zooms. More specific: Anamorphic
retrozooms. We got in touch with Angenieux Lenses
to discuss our project and they provided us with two
anamorphic lightweight zooms.
